He is already the richest man in the world with a net worth of $491.4 billion at the time of writing, as per Forbes. In comparison, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos has a net worth of $253.3 billion and is the third richest person in the world. This has led many to wonder what Bezos&rsquo; payout is like, as the Amazon CEO.<\/p>\n<h3>How much does Jeff Bezos get as Amazon CEO?<\/h3>\n<p>As Amazon CEO, Bezos reportedly takes home only a modest amount. He&rsquo;s spoken about this in the past, explaining why he&rsquo;s refused additional compensation.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking at the 2024 New York Times DealBook Summit, Bezos said, &ldquo;I already owned a significant amount of the company, and I just didn&rsquo;t feel good about taking more&hellip; I just felt how could I possibly need more incentive?&rdquo;.<\/p>\n<p>Bezos, reportedly, took a paycheck of $80,000 per year as the CEO of Amazon.<\/p>\n<h3>What to know about Musk&rsquo;s new pay package<\/h3>\n<div class=\"internal-linking-related-contents\"><a href=\"https:\/\/jobuzo.com\/en\/12-weeks-jail-for-school-it-support-technician-who-took-upskirt-videos-of-teachers\/\" class=\"template-1\"><span class=\"cta\">News :<\/span><span class=\"postTitle\">&lt;div&gt;12 weeks' jail for school IT support technician who took upskirt videos of teachers&lt;\/div&gt;<\/span><\/a><\/div><p>The new package will expand Musk&rsquo;s stake in Tesla to 25% or more over the next decade. In order to get the full payout, Musk will have to deliver on targets to significantly expand Tesla&rsquo;s market value, revive its flagging car business and get the fledgling robotaxi and robotics efforts off the ground.<\/p>\n<p>After the announcement Tesla shares rose 1.8% as of 4:54 p.m. in postmarket trading Thursday in New York. The stock was up 14% this year through Wednesday&rsquo;s close, narrowly trailing the 16% advance in the S&amp;P 500 Index.<\/p>\n<p><i>(With Bloomberg inputs)<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>  <input type=\"checkbox\" class=\"trendTopsSHow\" id=\"trendTopsSHow-101762469240506\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"trendTops\" readability=\"6.2844827586207\">\n<div class=\"shareIconSec\">\n<div class=\"trendingIcon\"> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hindustantimes.com\/static-content\/1y\/ht\/1x1.webp\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.hindustantimes.com\/static-content\/1y\/ht\/story_trending@2x.png\" alt title><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"trendInlineSeo\" readability=\"10.426395939086\"> Stay updated with US News covering politics, crime, weather, local events, and sports highlights.
